Studies of disordered heterogeneous media and galaxy cosmology share a common goal: analyzing the distribution of particles at `microscales' to predict physical properties at `macroscales', whether for a liquid, composite material, or…
We study transport of interacting particles in weakly disordered media. Our one-dimensional system includes (i) disorder: the hopping rate governing the movement of a particle between two neighboring lattice sites is inhomogeneous, and (ii)…
We consider a noninteracting disordered system designed to model particle diffusion, relaxation in glasses, and impurity bands of semiconductors. Disorder originates in the random spatial distribution of sites. We find strong numerical…
We study the scaling properties of polymers in a d-dimensional medium with quenched defects that have power law correlations ~r^{-a} for large separations r. This type of disorder is known to be relevant for magnetic phase transitions. We…
We investigate the spread of correlations carried by an excitation in a 1-dimensional lattice system with high on-site energy disorder and long-range couplings with a power-law dependence on the distance ($\propto r^{-\mu}$). The increase…
We consider the elastic theory for Ising transitions in an isotropic elastic medium in the zero thermal expansion (ZTE) limit. We use this theory to study the nature of the fluctuations in the system near the second phase transitions at…
We study the interplay between disorder and light-matter coupling by considering a disordered one-dimensional chain of lossy dipoles coupled to a multimode optical cavity, through a microscopically derived Hamiltonian. Such a system,…
We analyze the peculiarities of the motional narrowing effect in disordered one-dimensional Frenkel chains with off-diagonal disorder, induced by uncorrelated Gaussian fluctuations in the positions of the host units. A clear difference in…
We derive an asymptotic expansion for two-dimensional displacement field associated to thin elastic inhomogeneities having no uniform thickness. Our derivation is rigorous and based on layer potential techniques. We extend these techniques…
We examine how the distribution of contour lengths and the high-stretch stiffening of individual chain segments affect the macroscopic shear modulus of flexible polymer gels, using a 2D numerical model, in which polymer segments form a…
The equilibrium behavior of a system of elastic layers under tension in the presence of correlated disorder is studied using functional renormalization group techniques. The model exhibits many of the features of the Bose glass phase of…
Motivated by recent experiments on the supersolid behavior of $^4$He, we study the effect of an edge dislocation in promoting superfluidity in a Bose crystal. Using Landau theory, we couple the elastic strain field of the dislocation to the…
Many-body localization in a disordered system of interacting spins coupled by the long-range interaction $1/R^{\alpha}$ is investigated combining analytical theory considering resonant interactions and a finite size scaling of exact…
This review is intended to give a pedagogical and unified view on the subject of the statistics and scaling of physical quantities in disordered electron systems at very low temperatures. Quantum coherence at low temperatures and randomness…
Angular correlations in dense solutions and melts of flexible polymer chains are investigated with respect to the distance $r$ between the bonds by comparing quantitative predictions of perturbation calculations with numerical data obtained…
We use a discrete dislocation dynamics (DDD) approach to study the motion of a dislocation under strong stochastic forces that may cause bending and roughening of the dislocation line on scales that are comparable to the dislocation core…
It is now well-established that mechanical equilibrium in athermal disordered solids gives rise to anisotropic spatial correlations of the coarse-grained stress field that decay in space as $1/r^d$, where $r$ is the distance from the…
By performing extensive simulations with unprecedentedly large system sizes, we unveil how rigidity influences the fracture of disordered materials. We observe the largest damage in networks with connectivity close to the isostatic point…
Hierarchically structured materials, which possess distinct features on different length scales, are ubiquitous in nature and engineering. In many cases, one structural level may be ordered while another structural level may be disordered.…
The films of order-disorder type ferroelectrics were considered in the mean field approximation taking into account depolarization field. It was shown that size effects in this system could be described on the base of bulk system equation…
